A processing system comprises one or more processor devices and other system components coupled to a stacked memory device having a set of stacked memory layers and a set of one or more logic layers. The set of logic layers implements a metadata manager that offloads metadata management from the other system components. The set of logic layers also includes a memory interface coupled to memory cell circuitry implemented in the set of stacked memory layers and coupleable to the devices external to the stacked memory device. The memory interface operates to perform memory accesses for the external devices and for the metadata manager. By virtue of the metadata manager's tight integration with the stacked memory layers, the metadata manager may perform certain memory-intensive metadata management operations more efficiently than could be performed by the external devices.

A 3D face recognition method based on intermediate frequency information in a geometric image as follows: (1) preprocessing a library and test models of 3D faces, including 3D face area cutting, smoothing processing and point cloud thinning, and discarding the lower portion of the face; (2) mapping the remainder of the face to a 2D grid using grid parameters, and performing linear interpolation on the 3D coordinates of the grid top to acquire the 3D coordinate attributes and generating a geometric image of a 3D face model; (3) performing multi-scale filtering with a multi-scale Haar wavelet filter to extract horizontal, vertical, and diagonal intermediate frequency information image images as invariable facial features; (4) calculating the similarity between the test model and the library set model with a wavelet domain structuring similarity algorithm; and (5) judging the test and library set model models with the maximum similarity belong to the same person.

A fiber useful in the absorption of metal ions from aqueous solutions, the fiber comprising a polyolefin backbone having a diameter of at least 1 micron and having covalently appended on its surface halogen atoms and vinyl-addition polymeric grafts functionalized with metal-binding groups, such as at least one functional group selected from carboxylate, keto, aldo, amino, imino, nitrile, amido, oxime, amidoxime, imide dioxime, and hydroxamate groups. The vinyl-addition polymeric grafts may also be further functionalized with hydrophilic groups different from the metal-binding groups, wherein the hydrophilic groups may be selected from carboxylate, sulfone, sulfonate, phosphonate, alkylammonium, iminium, amide, pyrrolidone, and polyalkyleneglycol groups. Also described are methods for producing the functionalized fibers, and methods for using the functionalized fiber, particularly in extracting metal ions from metal-containing solutions.

To populate printed circuit boards by means of a pick_rand-place line, multiple set-ups, each having an associated set-up family, are formed. A number of component types is associated with each set-up and a number of printed circuit board types is associated with each associated setup family, such that a printed circuit board of a printed circuit board type in a set-up family can be populated on the pick-and-place line using components of the component types associated with the set-up. A setting-up table comprising a stock of components of a component type in a set-up can be provided on the pick-and-place line. A method for populating the printed circuit boards includes the steps of recording printed circuit board types, from which printed circuit boards are to be populated with components of associated component types, and associating recorded printed circuit board types with set-up families.

An elastomer composite with silica-containing filler is described, along with methods to make the same. The advantages achieved with the elastomer composite and methods are further described.

The present provides methods and compositions that enable effective delivery of nucleic acids to desired cells, including to a solid organ such as a mammalian heart. The methods and compositions enable effective gene transfer and subsequent expression to a majority of cells throughout a solid organ such as the heart. Methods and compositions of the invention preferably provide enhanced vascular permeability that enables increased gene transfer to targeted cells, but without significant degradation or injury to endothelial cell layers. Global delivery of nucleic acid to an intact heart has been achieved with as little as 2 minutes of intracoronary exposure to the administered nucleic acid.

A rotor assembly for an electric machine, e.g., of an electrified powertrain, includes a rotor having inner and outer diameter surfaces, and a rotor shaft connected to and surrounded by the rotor. The rotor has equally-spaced rotor magnetic poles each having a quadrature-axis (“q-axis”) and a pair of direct-axes (“d-axes”). At each of magnetic pole of the rotor, the rotor defines at least three arcuate notches, including a center notch bisected by the q-axis and a pair of additional arcuate notches symmetrically flanking the center notch. The rotor may include embedded permanent magnets, which may be arranged in a dual V-shaped configuration. Each additional notch may be positioned within a sweep of a top-layer opening angle of the magnets. The center notch and/or the pair of additional notches may define tangentially-continuous fillets which smoothly transition the notch into the outer diameter surface.

A microimpactor device for separating particles from a fluid stream includes a plurality of microimpactor in a two-dimensional array. Individual microimpactors are separated by a distance of about 3 to 20 times the microimpactor width. This spacing provides a device that operates well at low pressure drops across the device. Particles borne in a fluid stream tend to accumulate on both the front and rear sides of the microimpactors, thereby increasing the efficiency of the device.
